The Point Vicente Interpretive Center (PVIC) is located on the cliffs adjacent to the Point Vicente Lighthouse. It features exhibits on the natural and cultural history of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, with a special emphasis on the Pacific gray whale. This premier whale watch site provides spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. PVIC also features a native garden and a gift shop.

The Marine Mammal Care Center is a hospital for sick and injured marine mammals that are stranded along the Los Angeles County coastline. Located in San Pedro, they primarily treat and release rescued California sea lions, northern elephant seals, Pacific harbor seals, and northern fur seals. Visitors are not permitted “behind the scenes” and are kept a safe distance from the animals. This helps to provide a low stress environment during the patients’ rehabilitation, as well as to enable their natural wild behavior.

Resting peacefully on the knoll overlooking the sea gate from which U.S. troops sailed into the Pacific, this location affords an unsurpassed view of the Los Angeles harbor, the Catalina Channel and the sea terraces of San Pedro hill. The Korean Friendship Bell is rung only four times each year: the Fourth of July, August 15 (Korean Independence Day), in September to coincide with bell ringings around the country to celebrate Constitution week, and on New Year's Eve. This massive and intricately decorated bell and pavilion was donated in 1976 to the people of Los Angeles by the people of the Republic of Korea to celebrate the bicentennial of the United States independence, honor veterans of the Korean War, and to consolidate traditional friendship between the two countries.
